Design And Methods: We investigated 1096, 18-to-45-year old participants from the HARVEST. Their office BP was 145.
Background: Whether healthy metabolic status is stable or only temporary is still controversial. The aim of the present study was to determine the frequency of the transition from metabolically healthy to metabolically unhealthy status, or vice versa, over the long term.
Methods: We examined 970 individuals of 18 to 45 years of age.
Aims: To investigate the prevalence of metabolically healthy overweight/obesity and to study its longitudinal association with major adverse cardiovascular and renal events (MARCE).
Methods And Results: The study was conducted in 1210 young-to-middle-age subjects grouped according to their BMI and metabolic status. The risk of MARCE was evaluated during 17.
